Despite the fact that sportsmanship and healthy competition are at the fore at the Olympic Games, the promotion of the country, which sportsmen and women take care of with their results, should not be neglected. Willingly or unwittingly, they also draw attention to themselves through the appearance of the official national team uniforms that Olympians and Paralympians wear at the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games, during the competitive part of the Games and in their free time in the Olympic Village.
It's not easy being a top athlete. Sport at the highest level requires a lot of sacrifices. The same applies to the "profession" of mother, which also requires a great deal of patience and many sacrifices. But no matter how tiring it is, just like in top-class sports, all the effort pays off in the end. Maybe the reward doesn't come in the form of a medal, the medal mom gets around her neck is her child's smile, his kiss on her cheek before bed, a hug, or a drawing he drew just for her. No matter how hard parenting is, comparable to the training of a top athlete, just like athletes, mothers know that it will pay off someday. Mother will not experience the acceptance for her successful upbringing, as Tina Trstenjak will, but her mother and father are to a large extent responsible for it.

Tina Trstenjak succeeded Urška Žolnir on the Olympic throne. Take a look at her ipon, which won her a minor medal at the OI. With the Olympic title, she became one of the eight judokas to hold all three titles from the biggest competitions - European, World and Olympic!
The Olympic Games are approaching at the speed of light, which means a lot of such events for sports fans. Before leaving for Soča, the national team will present themselves to the media and fans, who will, among other things, write February 3, when it will be Slovenian hockey day, in their calendars.
